Greg Gallavan loves mazes. He has built them all over the country and even in Spain. Gallavan began developing large outdoor mazes. He opened his first outdoor maze in June 1990 – Amaze’n Breckenridge. This amazing park is where you get lost in 10,000 sq ft of twists and turns that take you over 1 mile of paths. Since then he has built around 30 mazes at family fun centers, ski areas, amusement parks and other locations across the country.

Amaze’n Breckenridge, Colorado’s largest outdoor maze (of almost 10,000 sq. ft.), opened in June 1990; in the summer of 1993, it was relocated to the base of Peak 8 at Breckenridge Ski Resort. The maze is Colorado’s largest outdoor human maze at 10,000 square feet.

My blogging friend, Charla from healthyhomeblog.com has been there! She said;

It’s a maze you walk through. You are given a punch card when you enter that shows the exact time you started. You go through the wooden maze and try to find certain things. You have to hunt for them and when you find each one then I think you get your time card punched to prove you found it. Anyway, as soon as you find all of them, then you have to find your way to the exit where your card is punched again to show how long it took you to complete the maze and find everything. People do it repeatedly to try to beat their time or maybe to race with someone to see who can finish first.

Frommer’s Review

Quite possibly Colorado’s largest human maze, this is Amaze’n Colorado’s original creation. The two-level labyrinth of twists and turns offers prizes to participants who can “beat the clock.” Like the Amaze’n Winter Park, the maze is changed weekly to maintain interest for repeat customers. A free observation deck provides a bird’s-eye view of the maze, as well as the surrounding scenery. Allow 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

This place sounds like so much fun! What do you think? Would you try it?
